It is less than a day's journey from Tongzhou to the capital by water, and it is even faster if you take it by land. www.biquge.info The person who arranged for Lin Cong to go to Tongzhou to deliver letters and things to Mama Qin was very helpful, so Mo Shaoli quickly received Mama Qin's reply.

Mama Qin's letter about the marriage contract between Jade Pei and the Marquis of Changning was written in detail.

And the origin of the matter should start from when the first emperor was still alive.

When the first emperor was sick, the eldest princess of Hui'an often took Mo Shaoli to visit him in the palace, accompanied the first emperor to talk, or let Mo Shaoli and the first emperor be amused for a while, which was very happy. Therefore, every time the first emperor saw the mother and daughter of the eldest princess of Hui'an, he was always very happy, and specially asked them to come to see him more.

That time, the eldest princess of Hui'an took Mo Shaoli into the palace to visit the first emperor, and after coming out of the Qianqing Palace, she went to Zhengyang Palace to say goodbye to the queen and left the palace.

On the way, Concubine Xu looked at Mo Shaoli, who was wearing a big red shirt in front of her, bouncing and jumping all the time, and said to the eldest princess of Hui'an with a smile: "Qiqi's little appearance is really getting longer and better!" Looking at it like this, it's really like painting the jade daughter next to the Queen Mother! looks so good, when she grows up, she will definitely look like a beauty who has captivated the country and the city! ”

Although Mo Shaoli is indeed good-looking, how can the fat little bun at a few years old see the appearance of the country and the city? Concubine Xu's words were obviously flattering.

But all mothers always have such a habit, especially like to listen to others praise their children, telling the truth or falsehood, that doesn't mind.

Therefore, the eldest princess of Hui'an was naturally very happy when she heard Concubine Xu praise her daughter like this, so she smiled and said modestly: "Concubine Xu, don't praise her like this!" Don't you know how naughty Qiqi is every day, just like a wild girl! Hey~ Speaking of which, I'm also worried about her, such a rude and willful look, I don't know if I can marry in the future? ”

What she said was actually following Concubine Xu's words to praise Mo Shaoli, talking in a hurry, and chatting with gossip when she had nothing to say.

But who knew that the unintentional words fell into the ears of Concubine Xu, a caring person, and her heart flashed, and she had a different thought.

Concubine Xu has seen clearly over the years that although the eldest princess of Hui'an is only the daughter of the queen mother, she is the only eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she must not be deeply favored by the deceased queen mother, and she is also very embarrassed in front of the emperor and queen.

If you can marry the eldest princess...... That's a big benefit.

Concubine Xu didn't think about her own biological son, Song Min, the fourth son of King Qishan. But she thought again, the age difference between Song Min and Mo Shaoli seemed to be a little big, and he was only the fourth son of King Qishan, and he had no title or title, so she was afraid that the eldest princess of Hui'an would not look down on her.

However, her maiden nephew, Xu Zihao, the son of the Marquis of Changning, is the same age as Mo Shaoli, and he is the son of the world, and he will inherit the title in the future, and he will be the marquis, and he can be regarded as worthy of Mo Qi.

So, Concubine Xu said with a smile: "I don't like to hear what the eldest princess says, just our Qiqi's appearance, this background, this family, this upbringing, I don't know how many people are waiting to get married!" Where can you not get married? ”

The eldest princess of Hui'an just said it casually, and she didn't take it seriously, and after she finished speaking, she chased her daughter's pretty little figure with doting eyes, and said to her daughter softly: "Qiqi, you run slowly, beware of falling." ”

Therefore, Concubine Xu's words, she didn't have time to interface.

Concubine Xu didn't seem to care about whether she could answer or not, and said to herself: "When I say this, don't believe it, the eldest princess!" Not to mention, if I have the cheekiness to ask the eldest princess for my maiden nephew, will you be willing, or unwilling, eldest princess? ”

The eldest princess of Hui'an looked at the short and chubby daughter in front of her, who was still a doll-like little back, where would she think that Concubine Xu was serious in her heart, she only thought that she was joking, her eyes did not leave Mo Shaoli, and she replied casually: "I will take what Princess Fang said seriously, when my family grows up, I will find the door of Changning Hou's mansion, and Mrs. Changning Hou should not deny this family matter!" ”

Concubine Xu was overjoyed when she heard this, and regardless of whether the words of the eldest princess of Hui'an were true or false, she immediately took off the jasper pendant she was wearing and handed it over to the eldest princess of Hui'an: "I can't ask for a family affair, how can my sister-in-law be reluctant to admit it?" The eldest prince mainly believes it, so I'll make this decision for my brother first! This jade pendant is the dowry I brought from my mother's family, and my brother and I each have one, two pieces of general appearance. When my brother saw Yu Pei, he would naturally admit his relatives! ”

"This ......" The eldest princess of Hui'an only thought that she was chatting and laughing with Concubine Xu, she didn't expect her to admit it, and she was a little embarrassed when she looked at the jade pendant she handed over, and she didn't accept it, and she didn't accept it.

Concubine Xu was eager, and she didn't care what the eldest princess of Hui'an thought in her heart, so she couldn't help but stuff the jade pendant into her hand: "I gave this jade pendant to the eldest princess, but even if you set your family's Qiqi!" Don't turn back the eldest princess to deny this family matter! ”

Because it was in the palace, there were people coming and going, and the eldest princess of Hui'an didn't want to pull and pull with her here to provoke onlookers and discussions, so she had to take the jade pendant down, but she was planning to turn around and find a suitable opportunity, and then return the jade pendant to her.

After all, Qiqi is still young, and she hasn't seriously considered her family affairs, so she can't just set her up like this. Even if she really wants to marry the Marquis of Changning, then she has to inquire about Xu Zihao's character before she can decide.

Therefore, the eldest princess of Hui'an also temporarily accepted the jade pendant, said goodbye to Concubine Xu outside the palace gate, and went back to their homes.

Who knew that the first emperor died suddenly that night, and the king of Qishan ascended the throne as the emperor's younger brother, and the concubine Xu of the Qishan palace changed from the concubine of the palace to the concubine Xu Shu in the palace.

And the eldest princess of Hui'an, but shortly after the death of the first emperor, was demoted to a commoner by the newly enthroned Song Yuan.

Later, the eldest princess of Hui'an also met Concubine Xu Shu once or twice, but Concubine Xu Shufei never mentioned the words of Jasper Pei and the marriage contract.

The eldest princess of Hui'an was arrogant, she didn't take much of what Concubine Xu Shu said about the family affairs of the Marquis of Changning, and when she saw this, she didn't ask Concubine Xu Shu again.

Only out of some kind of inexplicable psychology, the eldest princess told Mama Qin about this in private, and showed Mama Qin the jade pendant, and sighed: "Probably Concubine Xu Shu has forgotten this jade pendant, I don't have to go back to her, but let her think that I want to rely on the family affairs of the Marquis of Changning." ”

At that time, Mama Qin didn't have much to say, so she could only comfort the eldest princess: "Concubine Xu Shu doesn't mention it, and our girl doesn't have to worry about getting married." But he secretly kept the matter of Jasper Pei in his heart.
